My husband is out riding the POS scooter we have, because the four days of literally constant rain has stopped and the sun is out, and I was reading through my RSS feeds when I came upon this post from Scooter Swag.

BUT, I also have another obsession, one that I have been feeding for years. I am a glassworker, and I make glass beads and small sculptures using a torch that heats to over 1500 degrees. The other day I thought, heck, I can probably figure out a way to get a scooter on a bead. I did. This is what my first one looked like:

I made more, and I have listed two of them in my Etsy shop, which is here. Not to do too much shameless self-promotion, but I can make the beads in just about any color. Of course, I started with the Genuine Buddy colors, but I can also do cobalt blue, yellow, gray, whatever. Anyway, there it is.

The Buddy!

About Me

I'm a hopelessly addicted glass artist (lampwork, kiln-fired, and stained/leaded), and ridiculously attached to my sewing machines and mountains of fabric, trim, other fibery goodness and implements of sewing, knitting, weaving and other string-related arts. I also love to read, draw (although I'm not very good), bake, and play with my kids. I've got a motorcycle license and a 125cc scooter, and I am crazy about horses. Or maybe just crazy.
